A NEWLY DISCOVERED INCUNABULUM AT THE LIBRARY OF THE ROMANIAN ACADEMY IN CLUJ

Summary/Abstract: A Newly Discovered Incunabulum at the Library of the Romanian Academy in Cluj. Research in the collection of the Academy Library of Cluj lead to the discovery of a previously uncatalogued incunabulum, initially mistaken for a sixteenth-century work. The volume contains an edition of William Peyraut’s (Guillelmus Peraldus) Summa de virtutibus et vitiis, printed on the 20th of December 1497 in Venice by Paganinus de Paganinis. The paper examines not only the incunabulum, but also the binding, which consists of a partial leaf from a fifteenth-century Latin missal, and looks into the history of its owners, from an early sixteenth-century Dominican library in Timișoara to the library of a Catholic Gymnasium in Cluj.
